*Philadelphia Liberty Records

[Memento Mori]

A few weeks ago, I compiled every statistic ever recorded by every Liberty player in the regular season. Now that S22 has wrapped up, I've updated all the records and added season records for most statistics. We'll go through each major category, take a look at how the active roster did, and introduce the season records.

Career Passing Records



S22 didn't change Brock Phoenix's place in any of the career rankings, as S22 was another solid if unspectacular season from the Liberty quarterback. A 3628 yard season would see Phoenix move up to 3rd all-time in passing yards, while he'll move up to 3rd all-time in passing attempts with a 413 attempt season.

Season Passing Records





There's been one 5000 yard passing season in Liberty history, achieved by Tyler Oles back in Season 6. Oles' S6 is also the only season where a Philadelphia QB completed more than 60% of their passes, with Oles completing 60.3%. Oles' three seasons at quarterback ranked 1st, 2nd and 3rd in passing attempts, and these gaudy attempt numbers are partially responsible for his healthy cushion in 2nd place for most career QB statistics.

Brock Phoenix makes three appearances on the season records, with his three seasons ranking 2nd, 3rd and tied-4th for fewest interceptions in a season.

Career Rushing Records



The big mover in the career rushing records was Fuzzy Dotson, who had somewhat of a breakout year at RB with Farley Hank having been traded to Chicago. Dotson recorded 732 rushing yards operating as the RB2 behind Sam Torenson, and moves up to 8th in career rushing yards.

Sam Torenson closes the gap on the recently inducted Hall of Fame running back Marquise Brown, and a 1392 rushing yard season in S23 will see Sam Torenson move up to number one all-time. Torenson is also 14 touchdown runs behind Brown, and eclipsing Brown's 57 rushing touchdowns will be another target for Torenson.

Season Rushing Records



The season rushing records are dominated by Marquise Brown, who has the 1st, 2nd and 3rd highest numbers for rushing attempts, rushing yards and rushing touchdowns, as well as the 5th highest rushing attempts and 4th highest rushing yards in a season in S13.

Damien Kroetch's 14 rushing touchdowns in S6 ranks 4th, and Sam Torenson is the only other player to make an appearance here. Torenson's 11 rushing touchdowns in S19 rank fifth, while his S20 numbers of 322 attempts for 1334 yards rank 4th and 5th respectively.

Career Receiving Records



Nacho Varga caught 49 passes for 721 yards and 5 touchdowns in S22, which was enough for him to pass Hall of Fame tight end Paul DiMirio in career receiving yards for Philadelphia. Fox North still has a pretty healthy lead over the rest of the competition, and Varga has entered his second offseason of regression so that record looks a long way away from being beaten. Varga is an 810 yard, 5 touchdown season away from being 2nd in both categories, though.

Randy Vuxta climbs into the top 10 on the back of a 718 yard receiving season, and as the newly announced co-GM he looks likely to spend a long time in Philly. Besting Fox North would be a very tricky feat, but Vuxta will have his eyes on reaching top 5 or top 3 in each of the major receiving categories.

Season Receiving Records



It's no surprise that Paul DiMirio, who leads the team in career receptions, has the top four seasons in terms of catches. Josh Garden joins him as the only other player to record 100 receptions in a season for Philadelphia.

Paul DiMirio's Season 7 leads Philadelphia players in single-season receiving yards, with Josh Garden, Fox North and Carter Bush joining him with top 5 receiving seasons.

Josh Garden's 16 receiving touchdowns in S5 is a Liberty record, while Vander Jones' 13 receiving touchdowns in S16 is the only top 5 receiving season in any category since the move to a 13 game season.

Career Tackling Records



Only two active players are among the top 20 for career tackles for the Liberty, Richard D'Attoria V and Wayne Howyanow. D'Attoria V stays 2nd, closing the gap between himself and Lennox Garnett to 72. Wayne Howyanow is a new entrant into the top 20, having recorded 84 tackles in Season 22. An honourable mention goes to Warren Stephens, who already has 246 tackles in just two seasons. More on him in a moment.

Season Tackling Records



Warren Stephens' 134 tackles in S22 is a single-season Philadelphia record - by quite some distance - and is the second-highest number of tackles recorded in a 13 game season. His 112 in S21 are tied for 5th in a single season, and he's set for many more seasons like his first two. Richard D'Attoria V is the other active player with a place in the top 5, having accumulated 115 tackles in S21.

Career TFL Records



Tackles For Loss aren't the sexiest stat, but I wanted to draw attention to the achievements of Hall's player, ILove Gimmy. Gimmy recorded 14 tackles for loss in S22, which was enough to move him from 6th all-time to 3rd. The only other active player with a notable number of tackles for loss is safety Richard D'Attoria V, who has 11 all-time (14th).

Season TFL Records



Gimmy's 14 TFLs weren't enough to beat Drew Davidson's single-season record of 16, set back in Season 10, but it was enough for 2nd. This pushes his own Season 21 mark of 13 TFLs down to joint 3rd, along with three other seasons.

Career Sack Records



There wasn't much movement in the top 20 career sack leaders, as 5th placed Richard D'Attoria V didn't record a sack in S22 - likely as a result of him playing most of his snaps as an outside cornerback. ILove Gimmy posted a career high in sacks as well as a career high in TFLs, his 7 sacks moving him into the top 20 with 21 career sacks. He's tied-16th, and 6 sacks away from making it into the top 10.

Season Sack Records



No active player came close to cracking the top 5 single-season sack list, with 13 required to join the group of players tied for 5th place. Ryan Flock's S7 sack total of 19 is the best in franchise history.

Wayne Howyanow's S22 season tied three other players for 5th-highest forced fumbles in a season, with 3.

Lamont McKinnie's S22 season, in which he recovered four fumbles, was enough for the 2nd most fumble recoveries in a season.

Rookie Spike Suzuki is the seventh Philadelphia player to record a safety, and the first to do so since Season 11. No player has recorded two safeties for Philadelphia, so Suzuki finds himself tied for 1st all-time in the category and his S22 is tied 1st for single-season safeties.

Career Interception Records



Richard D'Attoria V is the only active player in the top 20 for career interceptions for Philadelphia, and managed four interceptions in S22. D'Attoria V moves up from 3rd to tied 2nd with Vikian Marmeladov. Being 13 behind Lennox Garnett, it seems unlikely that D'Attoria V will come close to overtaking him unless he plays for longer than expected or drastically increases the rate at which he intercepts passes.

D'Attoria V does have a realistic chance of challenging Garnett's career pass deflection numbers though, as his 97 ranks third behind Emondov Emoji's 110 and Garnett's 113.

Season Interception Records



With seven interceptions, 23 pass deflections or two pick sixes required to break into the top 5 in each of the season categories, it will be of no surprise that no Liberty player managed to do so this past season.

Season Offensive Line Records



There were no changes to the career offensive line records, as Philadelphia didn't field a human offensive lineman in S22. Here are the single season records - the most notable player being Micah Hendrix, HalfEatenOnionBagel's original player.

Career Kicking Records



Lefty Louis made his Liberty debut in S22, and unfortunately had one of the weaker kicking seasons in franchise history. He converted 89.3% of his extra point attempts, the lowest career mark, and 81.0% of his field goal attempts, which is the second-lowest career mark.

Season Kicking Records



Philadelphia's single season kicking records are dominated by Stephen Harris and Kulture Fulture, the two most successful kickers in franchise history. Harris' S7 was particularly absurd, where he made 42/42 field goals, as was Fulture's S13. In S13 Fulture was 47/47 on his extra point attempts, and 28/29 from the field.
